Continentalism

Continentalism is a way of thinking about the world where people recognize their shared geography, identity, and history. People who are continentalists think of the continent they live in as if it were a single, unified country. This means they don't only think of their own nation, but of other nations that share the same continent with them and all of the people who live on it. They also strive to build up the economic, political, and cultural connections between the nations of the same continent and to make sure that they all benefit from these connections.
